These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service
personnel only.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing
other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you
are qualified to do so.

An isolation transformer should be used during any service to

 

avoid

possible shock hazard, because of live chassis.
The chassis of this receiver is directly connected to the ac power
line.

!

Replace all components with Sony parts whose part numbers

 

appear

as shown in this manual or in supplements

 

published by Sony.

It is essential that all critical parts be replaced only with the part
number specified in the electrical parts list to prevent electric
shock, fire, or other hazard.

NOTE: Do not modify the original design without obtaining

 

written

permission from the manufacturer or you will

 

void the

original parts and labor guarantee.

When repairing the LCD panel, be sure you are grounded by
using a wrist band.

When repairing the LCD panel on the wall, the LCD panel must
be secured using the 4 mounting holes on the rear cover.

1) Do not press on the panel or frame edge to avoid the risk of

electric shock.

2) Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects.
3) Do not leave the module in high temperatures or in areas of

 

high

humidity for an extended period of time.

4) Do not expose the LCD panel to direct sunlight.
5) Avoid contact with water. It may cause a short circuit within the

module.

6) Disconnect the AC power when replacing the backlight (CCFL)

or inverter circuit.
(High voltage occurs at the inverter circuit at 650Vrms.)

7) Always clean the LCD panel with a soft cloth material.
8) Use care when handling the wires or connectors of the inverter

circuit. Damaging the wires may cause a short.

9) Protect the panel from ESD to avoid damaging the electronic

circuit (C-MOS).
